Base 16 (Hexadecimal) to Binary

Base 16 (Hexadecimal)

Hexadecimal (also base 16, or hex) is a positional numeral system with a radix, or base, of 16. It uses the symbols 0–9 to represent values zero to nine, and A, B, C, D, E, F to represent values ten to fifteen. Each hexadecimal digit represents four binary digits (bits), and the primary use of hexadecimal notation is a human-friendly representation of binary-coded values in computing and digital electronics. For example, byte values can range from 0 to 255 (decimal), but may be more conveniently represented as two hexadecimal digits in the range 00 to FF.

Binary

The binary number system, or base-2 number system, represents numeric values using two symbols: 0 and 1. The usual base-2 system is a positional notation with a radix of 2.
